    How to sterilise jars

    Unless preserves are stored in sterile jars, the contents can quickly go off. Here’s how to prepare your jars for preserving:

    • Wash the lids and jars well in very hot, soapy water. Then rinse jars again in very hot water.
    • Dry them off in the oven at 170°C for 10-20 minutes while your preserve finishes cooking.
    • Pour or ladle the preserve into the jars while both are still hot. Cover immediately then store out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry spot.
